Given z is a complex number such that Arg(z) = theta and |z| = r , write an expression for each of Arg(4z^3) and |4z^3| in terms of r and/or θ. How should I approach this?

Explanation:

A complex no. z is such that Arg(z)=theta and |z|=r.

Clearly, z=r(costheta+isintheta).

By De Moivre's Theorem, z^n=r^n(cosntheta+isinntheta).

:. z^3=r^3(cos3theta+isin3theta).

:. 4z^3=4r^3(cos3theta+isin3theta).

z = r e^(i theta)

4 z^3 = 4(r e^(i theta))^3 = 4 r^3 e^(i 3 theta)

  • "Arg"(4 z^3) = 3 theta

  • abs (4 z^3) = 4 r^3
